Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sabudana (sago pearls), soaked 4–5 hrs or overnight
  • 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed
  • ½ cup roasted peanuts, crushed
  • 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
  • ½ tsp jeera (cumin)
  • Salt (or sendha namak for fasting)
  • Oil or ghee to shallow-fry

Instructions

  • Soak the Sabudana
  • Wash sabudana until water runs clear. Soak with just enough water to cover them. After 4–5 hours, they should be soft and non-sticky when pressed.
  • Mix the Dough
  • In a bowl, mix soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, crushed peanuts, green chilies, cumin, coriander, and salt. Knead lightly to combine.
  • Shape the Cutlets
  • Grease your hands and shape into small patties or oval tikkis. Keep them uniform for even frying.
  • Shallow Fry
  • Heat oil or ghee on a tawa. Fry cutlets on medium flame until both sides are golden and crisp.
  • Serve Hot
  • With green chutney, curd, or sweet tamarind sauce. They’re best enjoyed hot and fresh.
